Steve Lekoelea says it is high time Masibusane Zongo 'grows up'

Former star midfielder Steve Lekoelea says it is high time Masibusane Zongo 'grows up' to save his career.

Like most South Africans, 'Chippa', who is today a motivational speaker going around the country with former players such as Jabu Mahlangu speaking to the youth, tells KickOff.com that he will be meeting Zongo soon to try show him the way.

“I want to speak to Zongo. Last week he was with some guy I know and the guy told me Zongo wanted to see me. I went over to meet him, but there were people and we couldn't have a serious chat, so I told him I want to talk to him face-to-face – just me and him,” Lekoelea says.

This of course in the wake of the 23-year-old allegedly going AWOL at Chippa United and declaring he is not going back to the Cape club.

It is not the first time the former SuperSport United, Bidvest Wits, Vasco Da Gama and Blackburn Rovers player has been accused of going AWOL and Lekoelea says Zongo must put a stop to it before his shenanigans put paid to a promising career.

“He can't keep making the same mistake time and again. A person grows and he must grow up. We have very few talented players like him and we can't afford to lose him.

“We must all do something about him. I can help Zongo if he listens. So I will meet him and take it from there. I'm worried about him. He must protect his career before everyone gives up on him. I like that boy,” Lekoelea adds.

I've never spported Pirates but I supported you, I still remember how you took Lovers Mohlala to the cleaners in the 1998 Bobsave Final to create an equalising goal for pirates

Similarly to Skapie, Zongo has done nothing for football yet-you do not become a STAR overnight rather you earn those Stars.

Steve Chippa MaChippa Motsiri Lekoelea. This is one of the guys who made me never miss a football match. Those times w hen football was played the mzanzi way, doing it for fun and for the fans. He told stories with his feet.

He made his mistakes too but we can't blame him. It was those days. He was classy in and off the field, ladies crazy, and all this was difficult to control.

"You can't bench a player like Steve," these were his words.

This one guy i thought should have retired at the church, Orlando Pirates, but his behaviour pushed the chairman to the length he couldn't take it anymore.

Zongo should listen to this machine. Together with Majalweng, Jeremiar Jabu Pule. These guys made their mistakes but we don't have to forget that they made us sit in the edges of our sits, they entertained us.

Ao Chippa Lekoelea, mfana I remember re sa le ko Tukkies, Pirates was playing SSU Ko Caledonian, Chippa was the hero of the day,,he ran at SSU defenders esp. Jappie Motale like there's no tomorrow..what a player he was,,,,after u there was no any other Jersey No. 10..eish those were the days,,these days sibukela innyoki kuphela...

I remember him scoring for Pirates in JHB Stadium and towards the bench with a hands gesture saying Faki Imali Izobona.....

The Only player who deserved the No.10 Jersey at Pirates...
